"Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing's going to get better: it's not," said Dr Seuss's Lorax.

Amnesty International, the organisation of ordinary people from around the world standing up for humanity and human rights, think that the Lorax has got it right and it's down to all of us to make a difference in the world.

We agree, and so we've welcomed Amnesty in to take over the teen site for a day, to look at how reading fiction can help us see the world differently, understand it better, and even, maybe, be the trigger that prompts action about inequality or injustice.

But, most of all, we want you to share the books that have made you see the world differently or understand people or differences better. Fiction can be a way of starting a conversation about the world and human rights – we'd love for you to continue that conversation.

Books that make you think differently

DavidTennantFan23A lot of books - Mockingbird, Harry Potter, When you Reach me, and The Underneath mainly. Books that are written by the main character in the story who has a certain disability (e.g autism) also make you see the world from a different point of view.

Niamh:I think Lily Alone, by Jacquline Wilson, made me think differently about poorer people and how hard it is for them!

happygirl165:Wow, this is a difficult question!! Here are a few that popped into my head:

1) The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time2) Oranges are Not the Only Fruit3) Tuck Everlasting4) The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I know that you mentioned The Giving Tree in the list, but I'd like to mention it again, because it has made me cry every single time :)And on the same note, I love the book Guess How Much I Love You.

@Syntactics:Gregory Maguire's WICKED was one. The Absurdists: WAITING FOR GODOT & R+G ARE DEAD... HARRY POTTER of course. THE GREAT GATSBY. @megrosoff's HOW I LIVE NOW. M.T. Anderson's FEED. Jean Craighead George's MY SIDE & JULIE OF THE WOLVES.

SteveWhen I saw the discussion about books which promote and make you think about the human rights I immediately thought about The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas by John Boyne. Through the eyes of two young children you really see the absurdity of war and racism.

'Fiction is creating a new path for human rights awareness,' says Amnesty youth member Ciara M. She reports back from an Edinburgh Books Festival event which looked at how fiction can show us that one person can make a change in the world
